All of my friends have such great ideas and plans for 2010. I ponder resolutions but I typically do not make them. No resolutions, no failure to admit to later on.

This year I'd like to save lots of money at the grocery store. This is actually deeper than it may appear. I think by focusing on something I can quantify will help to accomplish other (more important) goals within our home. Things I have a difficult time staying on top of... like menu planning, cooking, cleaning, laundry... the basics. When the basics are under control I'm a better mom, nicer, happier, I can breath, which means my kids and husband get to live with a better me. You'll see a running total of dollars spent and saved on my blog... I may or may not keep it there... it's just an idea.

I'd also like to get back into my excersize routine. I'm going to work into it gradually between now and Jordan's birthday. Once a week would satisfy my goal between now and March. Then I'll ask myself to increase to 2-3 times per week. This is the schedule I was on prior to the car accident and ankle injury... 2009 was a difficult year and my jeans won't forgive me any longer!

Those are my official goals for 2010. I hope to create some peace for myself that will then allow me to extend a helping hand to those around me more often.
